| description | The economic crisis, affecting with varying intensity a host of countries across the
world, has not gone unnoticed among Polish consumers and households. The economic
slowdown has triggered among consumers and households an array of remedies and adaptations
to the changed crisis-time economic realities. Many of the Polish consumers and
households, and especially those with lower income, found it imperative to cut down on
consumer spending, scale down certain needs and revise their pre-crisis consumption patterns.
In Poland the consequences of the recent economic crisis were not so dramatic as in
other countries, however the country’s economic slowdown had its impact on the standards
of living and behaviours of Polish consumers and households, resulting, inter alia, in rationalisation
of consumer behaviours and spending. It may be assumed that the latest economic
crisis has prodded Polish consumers to reflect on the sense of the pre-crisis fever of creditbased
consumption and materialistic approach to life. The basic objective of the paper is to
provide an empirical insight and highlight major issues related to the impact of the crisis on
Poles’ consumer behaviours on the basis of the available research findings, and author’s
own questionnaire research conducted in 2009 and 2015. An in-depth analysis of the new
tendencies in consumer behaviours and consumption patterns of contemporary Poles drawing
upon statistical data and latest available research findings may provide useful tips and
recommendations for economic policy makers and corporate strategists. |
